The reason cancer is such a problem is because thesedays we're living such long lives. If we all died young like nature intended, cancer would be relatively rare. Once we're past our prime reproductive age - as far as nature is concerned we're living on borrowed time. but you know what? fuck nature. Nature is gonna get shot in the face multiple times with my computer controlled ultrasonic beam. pyew pyew And then i'm gonna rocket into space with my jetboots.

@prowled how is the difference relevant?

@SHDharma it's all you people ever see.

@kebakent >"I do not wish to "debate" this any further." hehe, hindsight eh. you'll get the hang of social media eventually.

@ricande don't need goggles, build a projector into it. Project directly onto the patient.

@melaniejaynecampen i guess if you started your original comment with "haha wouldn't it be funny if:" instead of "this is incredibly scary:" it would have sounded less paranoid. i'm serious btw, i'm not just digging you, if you have intrusive thoughts like that then help is available if you wish. At the end of the day i'm just a person on the internet, trying to insert a question into your head that maybe, just maybe... you are not doing so well. Just, keep an eye on yourself ok? takecare

@missmollygrue there are ways to track the body and anticipate a sneeze. For example there are robotic surgical techniques that track the movement of the heart muscle and automatically operate around it, thus forgoing the need to stop the heart for surgery. Some groups are trying to use a mix of techniques (incl soft-body physics) to help anticipate the constant lower abdomen organ movement caused by breathing. Still early days though afaik.

@melaniejaynecampen *sigh* look, you sound like a paranoid delusional. Do you pick up a fork and think "this is incredibly scary" coz someone could stab you with it while you sleep? It could happen, forks are so very scary.

@prowled procedures that destroy tissue without prohibiting motion? LASIK does that. The camera tracks the eye with such speed that it anticipates even microcicade movements and adapts through every natural eye movement, the procedure is never interrupted.

@michalchik the reason for that is probably because TED audiences are kindof vapid. And rich.

@prowled haha, yes it's advisable to relocate the tracked area of interest to what you wish to see. Unless you think the results of a barium enema are best observed by x-raying the eye? haha. Obviously one tracks the body area of interest, not the eye. The fact that the eye can be tracked with sufficient precision shows that the technique currently can work in specific surgeries. Dismissing the notion of advancement in this regard to OTHER surgeries seems unwise.

I don't see why this couldn't ultimately treat an entire person's body in one, automated, step by step procedure. End-stage cancer: multiple small tumours all through the body. This thing can quickly reach every single one of them, zap each one, in a single operation. I mean why not? He said each sonification takes 1 second, so that's tiny 3600 tumours zapped in an hour. Have a short whole-body treatment every week. Computers scan and find them, computers aim and zap em.
